Moore starts for one of the most run-heavy offenses in the nation and the Mountaineers may need to lean on him even more in 2018 with four-year quarterback Taylor Lamb gone. He had an injury that dialed his workload back from 237 carries to 183 carries, but if Moore stays healthy, he'll push for his 2016 carry total. Moore's track record of sustained success, averaging 5.8 YPC in 420 carries over the last two years. There may not be a ton of room for improvement, but Moore is a safe and reliable option at running back with a guaranteed workload.

Moore took on the lead back role for the Mountaineers last year with Marcus Cox battling injuries and thrived with the increased workload. He ran for 1,402 yards (5.92 YPC) and 10 touchdowns while appearing in all 13 games en route to earning Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year honors. Moore is a borderline Power 5 talent, so he should dominate conference play again. With Cox graduated, Moore will have an even bigger market share of the carries in what has become one of the nation's more run-heavy pro-style systems in recent years.
